Martin O'Malley is getting screwed here.

I mean, Hillary is shellacking both of them, but he is getting shut out. But when he does get a chance it's good stuff.

I like some of the things he has to say, like his experience. I could live with a Sander's O'malley ticket.

I can be honest here. All of them are falling short because the moderation fails so hard.

Sorry, JaneyBee, saying it's so don't make it so.

On that point and gun control he got his ideas out there. Didn't get much applause though.

At one point, he tried to interrupt and got his knuckles rapped. He was told they would get to him, and went to break. When they came back, they went ..... straight to Hillary and O'Malley stood there mute for quite a while.

This debate seems more of the same.
